Casa Gangotena

Painted ceilings, oil murals, and Art Deco furniture fill this Renaissance-style boutique hotel on a corner of Quito's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It spent most of its life as a private home, and the residential warmth never quite left: rooms have soaring windows and high ceilings, some suites have Neoclassical stucco columns, and there's a rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. A Michelin Key hotel.
